FlashCaption Team
Product & Engineering

So you've installed FlashCaption—welcome to the future of the borderless web! But are you getting the most out of it? Here is a deep dive into using our real-time translation features like a pro.
1. Choosing Your Language Pair
FlashCaption supports over 100 languages. For the best accuracy, ensure your Source Language is set correctly. If you're unsure, our "Auto-Detect" feature is surprisingly robust.
2. Optimizing for Latency
While we aim for ``<1s``` latency, your internet connection plays a role. If you experience stuttering, try:
- Closing unnecessary tabs.
- Ensuring you have a stable Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
3. Customizing the UI
Don't settle for the default look. Open the settings to change:
- Font Size: Larger for distance viewing, smaller for focused work.
- Background Opacity: Make the caption box semi-transparent so you don't miss any of the video action.
- Positioning: Drag the caption box anywhere on your screen.
4. Using Dual-Language Mode
Learning a language? Turn on dual-language mode to see both the original transcript and the translation side-by-side. It’s the ultimate immersion tool.
